09/15/2016 I have been a prolific restorer of classic motorcycles for many years, both in my native South Africa and after we emigrated in 2003. I have restored 18 British bikes of all makes (including a 1953 Ariel SQ4), with my last two (number 19
& 20) being a 1973 CB750 Honda and a 1981 DOHC CB750 Custom.

My first ever motorcycle was a 1952 BSA A10 with solo saddle and plunger rear suspension. Due to advancing years my next project will probably be my last and
I would LOVE to restore another early A10 for nostalgia sake. I have tried in vain to find a relative complete basket case to restore, even the CVMG "Wanted" columns with no result. A65's aplenty but not older ones in North America.

Hello There
I am desperately looking for the whereabouts of my late fathers 1946 Norton - 500cc - Engine Number A3 2438 (See the attached photo) (Unfortunately I do not know the exact Frame or Model Number.)

This bike was originally owned by my late father, Tommy Taylor who lived in East London, South Africa. During the late 1950's and 1960's, dad was very much involved in Motor Racing especially in organizing the Grand Prix in East London - South Africa.

In 1957, dad and mom along with Mr Ginger Johnson, became the first people to ride motorbikes up Sani Pass from South Africa into Lesotho - then called Basutoland. (My folks rode the 1946 Norton and Ginger Johnson rode a Bantam 200cc) The attached photo was taking in 1957 and is my late mother sitting next to this 1946 Norton outside the Sani Pass lodge. For this epic trip, the front girder forks were removed and new shocks were installed.

Since this trip the 1946 Norton stood in our East London garage until +- 1976 when my dad swopped the bike for camera to his late friend Jimmy Mahaffey in Bloemfontein. I understand that it could have moved to Johannesburg but then???
At the time Jimmy Mahaffey had numerous other motorbikes and it appears that he did not keep the bike for long but sold it to someone else. I understand that it could have moved to Johannesburg but then possibly relocated overseas????

In total my dad owned 3 Norton bikes.
(1) A 1937 Norton that I managed to locate and purchase after standing in someone's garage for 45 years. I am presently commencing with the restoration of this bike.
(2) A 1962 650cc Dominator that dad gave to me just before his passing away.
(3) The above 1946 - 500cc Norton that I would desperately like to locate.

I recently picked up a very complete 1952 BSA A7/A10 rolling
plunger frame. The unit came without an engine/gearbox. I have located a
complete gearbox , but I am still looking for an engine. Do you have any
cases, or perhaps a lower end?

I'm a expat biker been living here firstly in mid USA now Florida past 30 yrs and returning to ride a good rideable classic bike Bit bike with "my used to" traditional RH gear shift of 1up 3 down, no Triumph, Jap or other make with different shifts.

I need a good condition bike even a restored well cared for one, a rare breed though they are, they sometimes appear but are snatched up quickly, maybe some well rusted model which needs extra work as I'm a retired engineer with plenty of spare time bike knowhow and a decent empty covered garage here so can do such easy light restoring homework myself.

Howdy, hope all is well!

I have a friend who is looking to buy a 1967 Bonneville or Tiger. Any condition, but he would prefer a machine that needs some work like a project. It has to be a 1967 because that's his birth year and its really what he is after. I was wondering if you (long shot) know of one for sale? Thanks, and please let me know if there's anything NEAR a 67 perhaps he can be talked into it :) :)

I am looking for a rolling frame for a 73-74 850 Commando project I would like to start. I would also consider a complete (parts) bike at the right price. I would also consider separate assemblies i.e. Frame, Front wheel assembly complete, rear wheel assembly complete (spokes & rim quality doesn't matter), motor cradle & motor mounts, brakes etc. I do not need motor, gear box, tank & side covers, forks or triple trees, but most other things.
Cheers

Looking to buy a 1971 Triumph. Please contact me if you hear of one or get one in your possession. Thank you.

The bike is for my husband who is turning 40 in Feb. (hence the 1971 year) and he is a current BMW (I don't even know the model but it's really bid and ends in GS) motorcycle owner. He was born in the UK and he has mentioned the triumph more times than I can count. I want the bike to be in fairly good shape and in working order but as far as the model or any other specifications I don't know. He'll have to like what I get him. I do want it to be as authentic as possible as far as the look of it but
definitely NOT a project bike. (He has about 15 projects he still needs to finish that I've given him, tee hee)
